👋 Hello 🏡 We are the #EU-CIP project. We are building the #CancerInfoPortal - home for reliable and easy to understand information cancer patients and their families and carers in Europe. 🤝 We just kicked-off the project with partners from 18 European countries. Let's introduce you to EU-CiP. 1/7

Congratulations! The new Advanced Grant winners are great news. But yet again, many scientists - around 260 - with ground-breaking ideas were rated as excellent, but remained unfunded due to a lack of funds at the ERC. Hope that more funding will be available in the future!

Are you currently at the Annual Congress of the European Association for #Cancer Research, in #Lisbon? Want the latest info on ERC grants? Come meet ERC Scientific Officer Veronica Caraffini at stand no.46! #EACR2025 @helloeacr.bsky.social
